iconiaLast week I received an email from Peter who wanted to know which tablet device would be the best value for his primary school aged kids.

There’s a few ways you could approach this.  One is to just spend as little as possible just in case something gets broken.  If this is how you feel then you’ll find quite a few android tablets for under $200.

The other is to think more about the future and find out what devices your kids use or will use at school…this could be the key to making your decision.

Apart from that, for younger children I would consider a 7 or 8inch device such as an iPad Mini or Google Nexus 7 as the are easier for small hands to manage.
